Libraries are able to borrow books from the National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS)' physical braille collection. Since physical braille in the public library isn’t common, we have prepared some tips and tricks to help you on your journey. The information provided in the linked pages below is also available to download in a single document. Download the Distributed Braille Collection here.
